One of these days, I'll be brave and post a photo or two. But I'm so freaking PALE that it's a tad embarrassing ;)

Yup! Men want eye candy, and they want arm candy.

We shouldn't it's shallow to want it and vain to want to be it.

But we still want it, and we still want to be it. I think that for me, what's changed is that I'm just not going to apologize for feeling that way anymore :) As MoreganK said: I've earned it! ;)

You have earned it! Enjoy it to the hilt!! :) I plan to do the same!! :)

Well, I am now inspired. Just moments ago took an "after" picture. So shortly I will be posting the first, known to man, ever existed...... pictures. Hey that makes it "exclusive" right :rolleyes: Anyway, I understand how you feel. I still cringe at my photos, but just not as much. :(

Thanks! :) I'll try to keep the bragging and vanity to a dull roar; to be honest, there are still PLENTY of things to feel bad or be insecure about. But after a lifetime of that crap, a little ray of sunshine now and again is a wonderful thing!

I don't know anyone who isn't insecure about something..even the most beautiful people have insecurities! I guess you are now "normal".

Hey! Pale and proud here! LOL I know I'm an odd ball in our society, but I think pale skin is beautiful. That and with my Irish genes I burn pretty bad, so I'm a moon flower and sun dodger. Don't let pale skin stop you from posting pictures if thats what you really want to do. ;)

Well it's not that I really WANT to post pictures! It's just that I feel like I have to back up my bragging with visual aids!

And pale IS beautiful! :)

Getting confidence is a very welcome side effect of the sleeve surgery. Congratulations on being confident--that is a feat in and of itself for most of us. You deserve to be happy and a little cocky! Cheers to you with my Protein Shake raised!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
